When I saw the ambulance
Screaming down Main Street
I didn't give it a
thought
But it was my Uncle Eugene
He died on October the second 1981
And my Uncle
Wilbert
They all called him Skinner
They said for his younger ways
He'd get drunk in the
morning
And show me the rolls of fifties and hundreds
He kept in the glove box of his old
gray Impala
And we're all gonna be here forever
So Mama don't you make such a
stir
Now put down that camera
And come on and join up
The last of the family
reserve
Now my second cousin
His name was Callaway
He died when he'd barely turned
two
It was peanut butter and jelly that did it
The help she didn't know what to do
She
just stood there and watched him turn blue
And we're all gonna be here forever
So Mama
don't you make such a stir
Just put down that camera
And come on and join up
The last of
the family reserve
And my friend Brian Temple
He thought he could make it
So from
the third story he jumped
He missed the swimming pool
Only by inches
And everyone said
he was drunk
Now there was great Uncle Julius
And Aunt Annie Mueller
And Mary and
Granddaddy Paul
And there was Hanna and Ella
And Alvin and Alec
He owned his own funeral
hall
And there are more I remember
And more I could mention
Than words I could
write in a song
But I feel them watching
And I see them laughing
And I hear them singing
along
We're all gonna be here forever
So Mama don't you make such a stir
Just put
down that camera
And come on and join up
The last of the family reserve | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
